Eureka N!ergy tent has three power outlets, doesn't count as camping

eureka_epower_tent.jpg

Feel like roughing it, but not completely? Pitch this $249 Eureka N!ergy tent with its three 12-volt outlets distributed inside, and have all the comforts of home while communing with nature. The system runs on the E! Power system ($50), a rechargeable battery pack that can also individually control each outlet inside the tent. Each one of those three outlets has a glowing blue light when it's powered on, and can also be used as a night light.

Of course, you can accessorize the system, adding an adapter so you can charge the power pack with your car battery. Other accessories made specifically for the 12-volt DC system include a fan, reading light, air mattress compressor, alarm clock, camera battery charger, cell phone, and DVD player, and even a hair dryer and weather station.

The accessories list didn't mention PCs, but we're sure you might be able to rig something up. Ah, camping for wussies, a concept we've seen here before. Pardon us, but if you want to use the above list of appliances so badly, why not just stay home?

The reason you use this kind of tent, Charlie, is that you want the luxury of staying in a hotel but you can't afford the hotel, or, maybe you want to be closer to nature than the hotel can give, but you want a place to hang out together as a family when it rains.
